Pet Sematary

[edit]

The horror novel Pet Sematary by Stephen King takes its name from a misspelled sign in a pet cemetery. Using Wikipedia and Google Books I was able to find how this was translated into some languages.
German: Haustier-Fritof - Haustier-Friedhof
Italian: Cimmitero deli animali - Cimitero degli animali
French: Simetierre - Cimetière d'animaux
Spanish: Semeterio de mascotas - Cementerio de mascotas
Portuguese: Samitério de Animais - Cemitério
Czech: Řbitov zviřátek - Hřbitov zviřátek
Polish: Smętarz dla zwierzaków - Cmentarz
I'm curious to find other languages such as Russian, Dutch, Swedish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic... --87.18.64.165 (talk) 21:23, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
